The global real estate investment market is a multi-trillion
dollar industry — a massive investment vehicle that has made the
fortunes of magnates across the globe. Yet this behemoth market has
largely remained resistant to major technological change,
maintaining antiquated processes for those trying to make money
from tangible property.

Ryan Williams, the Co-Founder & CEO of Cadre, is on a
mission to shake up this lumbering industry. A Harvard grad who
worked stints at The Blackstone Group and Goldman Sachs, the
29-year-old Williams has built Cadre into a next-generation
platform that empowers people to buy and sell real estate more
efficiently. Co-founded with Josh and Jared Kushner, Cadre has
already closed hundreds of millions of dollars worth of deals on
the platform. The New York-based company recently raised $65
million in a Series C funding round, drawing the attention of major
real estate players in its plans for global expansion.

Ryan Williams joins The IVY Podcast to discuss next steps for
Cadre, and the tenacious work he’s doing to remain at the forefront
of the next wave of innovation in the real estate market.
